Theoretically… I easily can imagine that for me. My first meal wouldn’t be so big but the next day surely wouldn’t be a problem. I even could have multiple meals after I break my fast in the afternoon but that has conditions (the desire to do so). Though… It probably would depend on my diet. I have phases when I am very fine with smaller meals even without any EF due to my very satiating very low-carb food. Of course, I can choose less satiating items… It would be interesting to experiment if I could stop eating for a longer while.
Still, a 3 day fast every week isn’t for me. I consider that too often. And it’s possible that I would get used to fasting too much so I barely could eat enough on the other days to avoid undereating.

No more frost! We surely will lose this snow, finally. It was pretty but to be able to use our vehicles is important here (we could use the bicycles on normal roads but not in the forest and the roads are way too dangerous in the dark, my SO got multiple accidents) and even walking had difficulties (too deep snow then icy snow…). We finally can go to our usual big shopping next weekend!
I want sunshine already, we barely had any since weeks. At least I am not sick anymore or just barely.
I try to talk myself into some proper fast next day. I mean, trying and we will see what happens. I will have plenty of my top satiating protein rich food tomorrow so I should be satiated during most of Monday. Especially if I manage to do it OMAD.
That sounds super tough to me (as it’s impossible in my case). I only go from dinner to bedtime, much easier (well, trivial if I ate properly. I can’t even eat enough for lunch only without troublesome effort, I need my dinner). And sleep makes me more satiated, that’s nice. And until afternoon, it’s just not eating time for me. Except if I really underate the previous days. I mean, I ate little. If I ate nothing, I don’t have that.
It’s probably different for the ones who wake up hungry or get hungry real soon… I always wake up satiated (let’s forget the only time I went to bed hungry, that was a very bad idea).
I think I can relate…? I have the former (with exceptions), they even help and I just don’t have memories of the latter. If I try to fast and it’s tricky (chance for me to get hungry), I don’t cook dangerous food and my SO usually cooks some extremely enticing smelling food in the morning when I have less than zero appetite and hunger.
But it’s usually mental for me. There is food and I am not very satiated, maybe even a bit hungry (as I can handle the lack of satiation now)… Or not a bit but it’s not severe yet… And eating sounds such a superb idea… And torturing myself such an antihedonistic one… Yeah, if I get tempted, it’s game over. I mustn’t get tempted. Staying away from the kitchen when my SO has a meal is a good idea if I want to fast. I may be serious but the presence of food and company can trigger hunger, appetite and even other things making me want to eat. I had times when I just wanted OMAD, nothing extra determination and I was FINE, no hunger… But I sat down, drank tea and after some minutes, things just got out of hand somehow. I need to be vigilant. And shouldn’t trust myself
It’s fasting, not life or dealth or health or sickness where I would be way more serious…
Can’t you cook in advance? It works in my household so well… Though it definitely helps what we both can cook and are health conscious… We may cook the main stuff but we need other items… Many people eat simpler than we do, though. We can’t just eat one course for lunch!
I can’t put it there but it doesn’t work anyway, of course not, if I am hungry, I need food. Lots of protein rich food. I am simple like that but it’s fine.
So you have days with only lunch? It’s a low-cal day for you or you can eat more when you plan to fast? Small lunches and no dinner never ever worked for me. I need my macros or else I WILL eat whatever I can after midnight (well whatever that I consider food, I still won’t eat something that can’t help at all… unless it’s tasty or have a nice texture…). Oh I forgot some people are able to go hungry. My SO does that. No dinner and hunger and quick, smooth fat-loss. I get hungry and eat. I can’t stand proper hunger without being well-fasted. Hunger right after a meal is the absolute worst. I need substantial satiating meals.
Apropos salt… It seems my salt need went down or something. I apparently oversalt things even when they are supposed to be salty and I only use a pinch of added salt… It’s only one thing, maybe it’s special but I know I am prone to feel things with barely any sodium too salty. I don’t even do carnivore, why I have this, no idea. I will track my sodium intake, I am curious.
